There are several passages with 'added rhythm'. It's not an error - van Oortmerssen brings tempo to a momentary stop, most often at entrances of the primary theme, and I must assume - given the fine playing - it's entirely considered and not an accident.
In my case, yes, I am a musician. One who studied with van O's countryman, Albert de Klerk. Others may not employ that same approach to the work, but I see no reason he should not, and certainly do not hear it as 'bad execution'.

another "skyliner' organ, ready for take off

Finally a tasteful, no rush interpretation of this wonderful piece on a magnificent organ by one of the most inspiring organ players of our times.

Wow meneer Oortmerssen, wat een prachtige, luchtige manier heeft u om dit toch zeker niet eenvoudige stuk te brengen. Een genot om naar te luisteren! Bij deze heeft u een abonnee erbij.

@ulfnorberg: What's your point? That has nothing to do with rhythm; this is about phrasing. Are you a musician???

I would love to hear this man playing Bach's Weimar stuff, and even the Clavier-Büchlein III

I echo the statements here this player is fantastic he is so in touch with the music. I can really relate to this. However, I would play this at a livelier tempo for performance. I think a little more showmanship and flashiness is acceptable.

This Principal sounds just wonderful. Finally, there is a performance which is not such a hectical vivace like many others. Harmonically, there is happening so much in this piece, that you never need to hurry. Not many people understand this, though.

Parfait, une sonorité d'une exceptionelle beautée!

This is for me sublime Bach playing where every note 'counts' and more importantly.. every note is 'understood' by the player. It is inspiring and moving for its mixture of seriousness and sensitivity to the inner world of Bach's complex musical imagination
